To find the cost of the mixture per kg, we need to first find the total weight of the mixture and then divide the total cost by the total weight.
The weight of the ginger = 5kg
The weight of the garlic = 10kg
Total weight of the mixture = 5kg + 10kg = 15kg
The cost of the ginger per kg = 24 naria per kg
The cost of the garlic per kg = 18 naria per kg
Total cost of the ginger = 5kg * 24 naria per kg = 120 naria
Total cost of the garlic = 10kg * 18 naria per kg = 180 naria
Total cost of the mixture = 120 naria + 180 naria = 300 naria
Cost of the mixture per kg = Total cost of the mixture / Total weight of the mixture
= 300 naria / 15kg
= 20 naria per kg
Therefore, the cost of the mixture per kg is 20 naria per kg.
5kg of ginger costing naria 24 per kg is diluted with 10kg of garlic costing naria 18 per kg. Find the cost of the mixture per kg
